Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in multi-language tools and intermediate languages, and in interoperability between
programs and components written in different programming languages. Shared infrastructure such as
code generators, analysis tools and garbage collectors can greatly ease the task of producing a high-quality implementation of a new
programming language, whilst being able to interoperate easily with code written in
existing languages is essential for such an implementation to be useful in practice.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers and developers working on
multi-language integration. Contributions are welcome on topics including, but
not limited to:

Compilation of high level languages to common executable formats such as Sun's Java Virtual Machine, the DRA's ANDF or Microsoft's
.NET Common Language Runtime.

Defining and using bindings for component middleware such as OMG's CORBA or Microsoft's COM.

Language constructs to support interoperability between different languages, particularly from different paradigms
(e.g. OO/functional).

Submissions may address any programming paradigm. Experience papers which describe the use of multiple
languages in application development are also welcome. Authors unsure of the appropriateness of a potential submission should
mail
the PC chair.

Papers should be at most 14 pages and should be submitted in Ghostscript-compatible
PostScript or PDF format and be printable on both US letter and A4 paper.
Authors are strongly encouraged to use ENTCS
style files. Submissions should not overlap
significantly with work which has already been published or submitted to any
other conference or journal.

Submissions should arrive by 1st June, 2001. Papers should be
submitted electronically via the BABEL'01 Submission Site (closed).

Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by 9th July, 2001
and final versions of accepted papers will be due by 10th August, 2001.
An informal proceedings will be published as a technical report and distributed
at the workshop. It is intended that a final proceedings will be published in a
volume of ENTCS.
